With over 18 years in education as a teacher, reading specialist, instructional coach, and assistant principal, I have helped countless students close learning gaps and build confidence. I hold a Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education, a Master’s in Reading & Literacy, and a Supervisor Certification in ELA Curriculum & Instruction.

I begin every tutoring plan with a baseline diagnostic to identify your child’s strengths and needs. Using data-driven instruction, I meet them where they are and guide them to where they need to be. My approach combines explicit skill-building with engaging, gamified strategies so students stay motivated and learning feels fun.

I specialize in supporting students who are working below grade level or missing foundational skills, and I’ve seen them make remarkable progress. Based in Northeast Philadelphia and working in the Chester Upland School District, I’m available for private tutoring in both areas.

✨ Private tutoring is a game changer—let’s help your child succeed!

“Literacy unlocks the doors to every possibility for success.”
